Two weeks ago, Pogba had 5 assists in two games, and all the talk was about the new contract talks. Now we've lost two games, pressure is building, and the Pogba situation remains unresolved.

I am interested in what you all think will most likely happen. Everybody likes to say what they WANT to happen, but what do you think is most likely?

Pogba leaves on a free. Signs pre-contract in January and then shuts up shop. Ole continues to play him.

Couldn't care less.

Same as above really.

Has a half decent game 1 in every 5, where Ole claims he is a world class talent. February/ March, Old says our people are talking to his people, and we are very hopeful. June, signs for Madrid or PSG for 500K per week, plus a nice chunk for Riola, who is never going to let him re sign anyway.

Pogba must be one of the most annoying players of his generation, given a god given talent, but for reasons only known to him, he finds it hard to display that talent with any consistency at all, he as all the attributes the physic, an athlete, the ability, I even think he possesses the will to win, so I would think like his managers and colleagues no one knows what your going to get from Pogba on a daily basis, I think that’s the same in his transfer he could go for nothing, he could sign a new contract and stay, either was don’t really make a difference!

I want Pogba to leave, ideally in January for some kind of fee. Fantastic player on his day but ultimately he's a central midfielder who can't play Central midfield in our side. He's a defensive liability there and we neither have the players or tactics to cover it.

When he plays on the left it limits how much defending he has to do which is good but he rarely changes games for all the ability he has. 4 assists against Leeds but 3 since then. 1 of which is a 5 yard square pass to Bruno to smash in the top corner from 25 yards, it counts as an assist but even Fred could make that pass.

We could drop him, play Donny in the middle and Rashford or Sancho on the left and in my opinion we would be a more functional team. At the moment he is shoehorned into the team no matter what which is ludicrous. Ole will continue to play him and even if he signs a pre contract in January with Real or Juve and says he's leaving, in March, Ole will be saying we're still talking to Paul about a new contract, he loves it here etc and he will be starting every week.

Want to and will happen are two different things.

Why is Pogba being selected ahead of other players who have signed contracts and shown they do want to be at the club? It’s weak management hoping he will stay if we play him and show him we love him. Nonsense, if he doesn’t sign he should rot in the reserves, in fact not sure I would let him impact those young players. I would have sold him for whatever we could have got in summer.

That’s want
What will happen? Looks like weak management will continue and he will continue to get selected above others and I wonder what that does for squad harmony. It is usually referred to as favouritism.

Pogba to go and Donny to still not get a game.

Tim,

I think that’s my ideal and hopefully what does happen, he needs to go and we need to sign a replacement who is good enough in midfield so we don’t have to play McFred anymore.


9.) 29 Sep 2021

That’s probably because DVB not good enough though which he is not for the premier and certainly not for the way we set up and play, he is a player who keeps getting better and better in some peoples eyes without even playing or showing anything, surely he still can’t be settling in can he?
We heard he settling in, he misses family, C.V., then he needed to baulk up, and yet he still does nothing, time to move him on I’m afraid just another poor Ole signing…. This is the manager who seems to sign players for sake of it not ones that fit into the system he uses, that’s how inexperienced our manager and coaches are, and they are not good enough to coach/ mould them into the players we actually needed, so they just rot on the bench.

Yawn, players rot on the bench? Other than Donny, who have we signed who rots on the bench? Please don’t say Sancho, he’s just got here. AWB, Maguire, Varane, Ronaldo, Fernandes, all first team players.

Want him to leave so player and club can move forward.
Think he will sign a new record deal at utd.

Tony,

Them players don’t fit the narrative, he’s already written Sancho off as a failure 1 month into a 5 year contract ? couldn’t write it.

Add cavani and ighalo to that ajh and telles.

Add Amad too.

Cavani has done really well for the club though, scored a number of important goals last season despite being injured quite a lot. Amad is literally just 19 and was meant to be going out on loan to continue his development but got an injury, looks like he could be a good signing to me.

Telles was signed to provide competition to shaw at left back, Shaw took that competition seriously and improved his own game to make himself undroppable, shame for Telles but don’t think many left backs would be playing ahead of Shaw right now.

GDS2 add Dalot too and petestri that’s quite a few of Ole’s purchases and are you seriously saying in the short cameo’s Amad played he not looked more exciting then Sancho! What age got to do with it if your good enough your old enough and what is there 2 years difference between Sancho and Amad! Both clearly about potential which is fine but not to the detriment of the team, when other areas were far more important…….


17.) 29 Sep 2021

We can;t play every player we've signed every game as we are building a squad. The one player who appears to have been sidelines i'd DVDB. The others were either bought as cover or are very young and were bought for the future. Cavani is an exception but has generally played when fit and available.

However, having signed some players as cover, it is bizarre that we played our players to a standstill last year and look like we are going down the same path this season.

Out of interest, who thinks Pillastri should be getting game time, or Dalot. And Amad ahead of Sancho, really?


18.) 29 Sep 2021
29 Sep 2021 15:53:23
Ole didn’t even sign Dalot, deary me. Let’s add de Gea as well, and Pogba.

2 years between 19 and 21 is quite a lot really Jack isn’t it? If you’re good enough you’re old enough is just a sound bite, do you honestly think Amad should be starting for us at the moment? Looks like he has a whole lot of potential but a little lightweight to me for now, sure that will improve as he gets older.


19.) 29 Sep 2021
29 Sep 2021 16:08:06
AJH…. like I previously said the little we have seen Amad he done more then Sancho as and he probably had less mins then Sancho
What are you basing your love in for Sancho on, England appearances No can’t be because he no world beater there either, OK Dortmund, that’s it! Personally I would give Dalot a run of games over AWB any day to see if he can do better.


20.) 29 Sep 2021

Building a Squad…… so why do we play the same players week after week same as we done last season and season before run them into the ground, then we buy players who are not exactly cheapies and then don’t even give them a run of games use them as bit part players, then say ol no they are too young send them out on loan and buy another the same and let’s go 2 years older this time and hope he is good enough! You really think this is competent way of building a decent squad?

Da, ot has plenty of chances, Ahmad is very young and had a good 10 minutes. I’m not having a love in with Sancho, his stats at Dortmund are awesome which is why we bight him. You do seem to be looking for an argument mate.

As for burning the players out, I made that exact point.


24.) 29 Sep 2021

Judging Sancho on his regular performances for Dortmund over the last few years seems more sensible than judging him on a handful of England performances to me.


25.) 29 Sep 2021
29 Sep 2021 18:42:18
Exactly a good 10 mins and scored a goal and a assist and how many minutes he played, less then Sancho that’s for sure and what as Sancho contributed, so my point is if we are giving Sancho time to settle and TBF he in English so not a strange country to him, why as Amad not been given time to establish himself.

GDS2 seems to think 2 years age difference is so huge and it’s soundbite if your good enough your old enough, I strongly disagree with that

I just don’t understand the purchase TBH when we got others who can play there, when it’s so clear we need players elsewhere.

You can’t deny that Ole never seems to want to let anybody go, even when it’s clear he don’t rate them or they don’t want to stay and after he purchased or held on to them, it’s strange way of managing in my view.
